How Much Should You Raise at Idea Stage? Most founders either raise too little or too much. Hereโ€™s a simple mental model ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ”ธ Donโ€™t raise for 18 months Youโ€™re not scaling - youโ€™re validating ๐Ÿ”ธ Donโ€™t raise based on โ€œrunwayโ€ Raise based on milestones that de-risk your next round Whatโ€™s a smart range? In India, pre-seed rounds typically fall between โ‚น50L - โ‚น2Cr. Use that money to get to: a. MVP or first version b. First 100 users or early revenue c. Team of 2-3 people d. Basic market validation Raise just enough to unlock your next round - better story, stronger traction, and less dilution. If you're raising funds and need help, DM me.
